The perplexing hidden detail in Jessica Alba’s seemingly happy family photo

Jessica Alba posted a seemingly happy Christmas family photo with her husband Cash Warren and their children this Wednesday.

Cash, 45, and Jessica, 43, have been married for 16 years and share three children – daughters Honor, 16, and Haven, 13, and son Hayes, six.

The five of them gathered in front of a Christmas tree for an Instagram snap, with Jessica writing: ‘Happy Holidays from our family to yours.’

The photo was part of an album showing a seemingly idyllic Christmas season, with pictures of the family enjoying quality time with each other.

But a cloud of speculation has hung over Jessica’s marriage since she was spotted without her wedding ring this month while dining in Rome, where she has begun filming her upcoming film Maserati: The Brothers.

Now she’s released a new Christmas album with a confusing detail that’s sure to add even more fuel to the speculation.

In the snap of the family gathered around the Christmas tree, Cash was not wearing his wedding ring and Jessica kept the fourth finger of her left hand hidden.

Another photo showed Jessica wearing no wedding ring as she hugged Cash’s father, Hill Street Blues actor Michael Warren.

The album comes after an interview was unearthed in which Cash confessed that he and Jessica broke up four years into their relationship because of his overwhelming jealousy.

According to a recently resurrected E! historyCash revealed in August 2023 at Whining down with Jana Kramer podcast that he was ‘really jealous’ of other guys.

“When we first started dating, I was really jealous of other guys and the attention she was getting from other guys,” Cash admitted.

‘It just didn’t make me feel good. I was always a pretty confident person in my own (life), going my own way and being really happy there,’ Cash continued.

“Next thing you know, I’m looking up and feeling jealous all the time,” Cash spilled.

‘We broke up four years into our relationship. It was the jealousy. I was turning into an a-hole and then we broke up,” Cash said.

On the same podcast, Cash said he is his wife’s ‘biggest cheerleader’ and he is ‘not interested in the limelight’.

The resurfaced interview comes after the Into the Blue star was spotted with Italian producer Andrea Iervolino on Monday night without her wedding ring on.

Andrea is producing Maserati: The Brothers, the sports car movie starring Alba, Michele Morrone, Anthony Hopkins and Andy Garcia.

The Honest founder also ditched her jewellery on the beach during her family vacation in Puerto Vallarta, Mexico — even though her husband was by her side.

The Barely Lethal actress showed off photos from their family trip on Instagram, including pictures of Cash.

“Mexico with my entrees,” she captioned the post full of family photos, including a video of Cash and her son surfing.

Followers complimented her ‘beautiful family’ and said she and her daughters looked like ‘sisters’.

The Golden Globe nominee has been supporting Cash on social media, sharing a video of him appearing on Good Morning America to promote his ‘Good Fits’ initiative on National Sock Day.

“Proud of my hubs,” Jessica gushed with a heart emoji, making sure to tag Cash with his men’s staple, Pair of Thieves.

The fundraiser partners with charities and helps people struggling with homelessness, as well as raising money for mental health and crisis intervention for LGBTQ+ youth.

The entrepreneur’s company has donated more than three million pairs of socks and essentials to charity.
